Christmas in the Square 2019 By: Jovin Tardif November 30, 2019  I love the holidays, but I also understand the bigger picture.  We are all extremely blessed this time of year.  We are making our list and checking it twice.  Everyone is running around on Black Friday looking for the latest gadgets, new fashion, great deals, and gifts for the family.  It's the most wonderful time of the year.  However, there are others that aren't as fortunate.  They could be in a tougher situation and they need your help.  After meeting the Salvation Army at Hope in the City, I was informed of another event that was happening in our city on Friday, November 29th, 2019 at Yonge-Dundas Square, 1 Dundas St E, Toronto.  Starting at 11:30am, you can head over to Yonge-Dundas Square, enjoy the festivities, a warm cup of hot chocolate and hang out with your friends at CTV and the Salvation Army.  You had the opportunity to participate in sing-alongs to Celebrat...

Three Thousand Years of Longing Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, United Artists Releasing Release date August 26, 2022 Idris Elba ("The Djinn") discusses Three Thousand Years of Longing My first impression was that it was a wonderful, fantastical story. Tilda has been like an incredible partner, just an incredibly fantastic actor, a complete, majestic figure.  Tilda and I were keen to make sure that the language, just the story, really affects the audience in a way that the audience would go...I wonder what I would have done.  Tilda Swinton ("Alithea") discusses Three Thousand Years of Longing Idris and I met once at a party which is a very rare sentence for me to say.
